Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Cowboys, and a C+ to match.

The Cowboys treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 204th pick on Jalin Conyers a full 176 spots early.

The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

So much rides on Tetairoa McMillan that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 16 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to pick No. 44, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Circle this one: Kaleb Johnson at the 76th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Steal is underselling it; Deone Walker at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A real head-scratcher, Logan Brown in Round 4, Pick 23 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at pick 171 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the 174th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jalin Conyers
Jalin Conyers at pick 204 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
By-the-book stuff, Robert Longerbeam at No. 211 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Taking Craig Woodson in pick No. 239 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick247 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
They reached into another round for Caleb Rogers, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
